Troubleshooting Guide

Common issues and solutions from our installation experts

  Posts feel wobbly after installation
  • Posts feel wobbly after installation
  • Consider adding bracing between posts for extra stability
  • Drill hole at new angle
  • Use a hammer drill with carbide-tipped masonry bit
  • Clear debris frequently by pulling bit out while drilling
  • Use proper drilling technique: don't force, let tool do the work
  • Double-check that all posts are plumb and level
  • Measure twice, adjust posts before final tightening
  • Use adjustable rail brackets if available
  • Consider professional consultation for complex layouts
  • Start with smaller pilot hole, gradually increase size
  • Keep drill bit cool with water or compressed air
  • Avoid drilling too close to edges (minimum 3 inches)
  • Check for rebar or existing stress points
  • No, leave the blue plastic liner in place - it's designed to stay
  • The liner provides weather protection and is part of the railing system
  • Removing it may void your warranty and compromise durability
  • Only remove protective film from visible surfaces, not structural liners
